Sunderland forward Brian Brobbey has attracted interest from Bayern Munich, according to The Independent.

With Nicolas Jackson's loan move from Chelsea unlikely to be made permanent, Bayern could bring in a backup striker in the summer to replace him as cover for Harry Kane.

The report claims that 24-year-old Brobbey has been identified as a potential option after scoring six goals in 25 Premier League appearances for Sunderland since his €20 million move from Ajax last summer.

The former RB Leipzig forward is a Netherlands international and is expected to be part of his country's squad for the World Cup.

His market value is currently estimated at €25 million by Transfermarkt.
